| Posted by phantomdaz Alerts mis-behaving Greetings I installed some POI's and loaded them up on my 660. As I set up some gas stations, I changed the alert distance to 11,000 feet so it would tell me if there was a station wintin a couple of miles while traveling the interstate. I only installed the GPX file, nothing else I found that they work sometimes and sometimes not. I drove from Michigan to Kentucky and in Norther Ohio, an alert went off for Loves truck stop. none of the speedways and such gave me an alert. as I got near my home, I went by another Loves and it did not alert me. I checked to see if that location was in the POI and it was. Today, I drove right by several Speedway's and only one on my trip gave me an alert. anyone got any idea's why they work sometimes and other times they do not? Thanks |
| Posted by roadrider01 Alerts mis-behaving Do you have the alerts turned on in the unit? |
| Posted by Guest Mis behaving Alerts Yes, I have them turned on. I made another road trip yesterday and got a couple of alerts but not near as many as I should have. I actually pulled into the parking lot of one that should have given me an alert and it never went off but others did later. it is a mystery to me :) |
| Posted by johmazz2006 Alerts I think it may be due to the alerts not all having the same amount of information for each alert, as I have noticed the same thing on rare occasions. You could find out by editing the file and check one alert against another. |
